I will have to write the details tomorrow, because it's time to go to work and I have a busy day ahead of me, but exciting things are happening today. It's only 430am and I'm already so stoked!...that's when I know it's going to be a good day.
I hope all of you lovely readers have a fantastic day today as well! :)
Remember that one time I sold my camera to upgrade to the t2i through amazon and then through a series of ridiculous events my account got canceled after I had ordered and half of it had been charged and shipped? So now I have 2 lenses coming but no camera? yeeaaaah.....I remember that too. Probably because I spent approximately all day from the time I got off work today on the phone with different amazon customer service reps. and running back and forth to my bank.
All of which told me there was nothing they could do. So now I get to wait for my lenses to come so that I can ship them back and re-order my entire purchase again. In like a week when they refund me. And hope I still get the amazing deal I was supposed to get. Oh, and meanwhile I'm camera-less. Today has not been my day.
On that note, it's 8:23pm which means I have to go to bed to get in my 7 hours of sleep before work in the morning. It's not even sunset yet. I'm ready to quit my job. Sigh.
Some days I just think I would be better off just sleeping through.
Last Friday my sister Melinda texted me and asked what my weekend plans were. We decided she should bring my other sister Rebecca and come play in St George. They came down Friday night and we hung out, played Saturday at the farmer's market and then at Zion National Park til sunset, and went to church and then hiking at Red Cliffs on Sunday before they left. It was a super fun weekend, I had a blast. I'm really glad they came down.
We got pinwheels for riding around in Logan's car and held them up all day as we went. :) His car is pretty awesome for the canyon...which is also why we look like hippies. It's lots easier for hair management if you just give in and rock the bandana :)
Aaand I have a ton of pictures from the weekend. :) Ready Set Go.

I just looked down at my paper towel and it has "There's a whole lot to be thankful for" printed across it with butterflies and flowers. Has Bounty always been this inspirational or is this a message somehow directed at me? I am thankful for lots of stuff. Like this delicious squeeze-it I'm squeeeeezing the fun out of right now. (You're not allowed to drink one unless you say that. It's the rules.)
You know how sometimes little kids fall, and then they look around before they decide on a reaction, to see how you're reacting? And then they choose to either shake it off or cry? I always thought that was kind of funny, and then I was thinking about it today, and I totally still do that.
The other day I had a guy come in to work and just be completely rude to me. He got all heated when I told him he owed some money and demanded my manager and refused to pay and basically just belittled me to the point where one of the personal trainers heard it going on and came to my side to help. By that point the guy left and the trainer just told me he'd heard how crazy the guy was being and asked if I was okay. I had been fine up to that point but as soon as he was there I teared up. Don't worry, I was cool and casual and played it like normal so he was none-the-wiser. phew. close call.
Does this happen to anyone else or am I just taking that 'be like unto a little child' thing way too literally? oh well.
On the bright side, I always have Marcel to cheer me up when I need it.
I decided to dye my hair red. Bring out my inner Ariel and all that.
I tried it once and it didn't even tint my hair. So I decided it needed lightened before I tried again. That resulted in that sort of 90's bleached hair guys used to have...you know the look?
so afterwards I put the red on it and it went crazy translucent red that didn't even really look like hair anymore...unless you're the singer of paramore. or kurt cobain.
i'm only including a half picture of my hair then because I don't wanna scare anyone too much.
So that was that and once again, I held up alright until Logan came around the corner and then I might've cried a little. Something about 'what have I done to my hair?!' and 'just bring me the razor, it's time to shave it all off.' and such. dramatic? you didn't see my hair in person.
anyway, we put brown dye on top of it and fixed it and now it is fabulous and I get comments on it all the time . Moreso than any other hair color I can remember. Probably because it's not pink or blue or something most older people disapprove of. One old lady even leaned in over the counter the other day and told me "red heads have more fun." ha ha.
but its way more natural looking and I feel much more like Ariel now. :)
